Abstract Paintings
My gestural abstract paintings resemble carefully composed songs, where contour lines act like musical notes and interact with blocks of color to create delicate narratives. I intentionally use empty space as a compositional element, allowing the eye to breathe, much like the rests in music. My color choices are instinctual, contrasting vibrant, saturated hues with muted tones to evoke a unique mood for each viewer. The result is a dynamic and harmonious visual concerto, rich with energy and emotion.

Meteoros, 18x24, gestural abstract painting
Meteoros is a gestural abstract piece exploring what is both SEEN and that which is UNSEEN. Our lives are nebulous in the day to day where one moment we feel complete and dynamic while other moments we feel invisible and empty. Though this can be true, we can still be VIBRANT in how we show up in the world. The storm rolling in can change us for the better, or tear us down for a time.

Artist Statement:
My work expresses themes based on spirituality and the human condition supported by my insight into self-actualization through trial-by-depression, trauma, and loss. Dancing saturated colors and lines reveal human fortitude and emotion while missing faded fragments and negative space reveals that which was taken from us. Unique hue and compositional harmonies illustrate the diversity our state of being is in at any given moment. The chaotic human ego undulates through small yet constant deaths and rebirths as the life experience travels forward. The soul emerges whole once in the spiritual realm where it began. This life process is beautiful, mysterious, and painful at once. Soaking acrylic inks, oil pastels, and dry media collaborate on traditional surfaces like raw canvas, fine art paper, and clay panel resulting in vivacious abstract narratives that feel frozen in the nebulous moment of overturning.
“My abstract expressionist paintings are infused with a powerful sense of beautiful chaos in a spirited palette of bold, energetic colors inspired by couture fashion. Using acrylic, gouache, pencil and oil pastels, my works feature gestural marks and nature-inspired details meant to inspire a sense of camaraderie where the viewer discovers a joyful mirror to their own inner vitality, uniqueness, and dialogue leaving them to feel seen, heard, celebrated, and inspired.”
